VCR

I sometimes hear the word "VCR" being used in Chinese, but it seems to have a different meaning. By metonymy, is this word used to refer to "video clips" in Chinese? I have heard it used in "非常勿扰" before.
Thanks/谢谢！

Ghabi's meaning is the meaning I hear most. I also hear DVD occasionally used in a similar way, like

我们看大屏幕的DVD了解一下 (said of a short clip on a talk show).

It's interesting how these abbreviations take on their own meaning when they cross languages. Another example that comes to mind is OK, which can be used to indicate completion of a task, usually with 了 added after.

Not to my knowledge, no. I should have included the original English meaning of VCR in my original post: videocassette recorder. Many people in North America knew these by the two most famous brands/formats: VHS and Beta(max). (I'm assuming it was similar for other countries, but am not sure!)

I think that VCR to refer to 视频/video clips is only used in China (and maybe other Chinese-speaking regions too.. ?).

I've also noticed their using vcr in 非诚勿扰 before. And the question I asked above was promted by the fact that many of the girls on the stage have lived and studied a long time in some of the English-speaking countries, and should have known better than to make such a stupid mistake.

When a foreign word is imported into another language (Chinese in this case), the meaning can change and if the new meaning is accepted and used, then the new meaning is the correct one in Chinese, and not the original meaning. There should be plenty of examples similar to this.

An English word can never be imported into Chinese in it's original form (like vcr ), we just transform it(vcr in this case) to Chinese characters (like 盒式录像机）。

Admittedly, we Chinese sometimes directly quote English words in our conversations, like 看篮球还是看NBA的过瘾. But we don't think NBA is Chinese，it's still an English acronym.

For Chinese people who understand English, vcr strictly means video cassette recorder (not video clips), just as it means to native English-speakers. For Chinese people who don't understand English, vcr means merely three Latin letters:v, c, r, with an exception of those ignoramuses in 非诚勿扰.

This is off topic, but actually PK means "players kill", and comes from online MMORPG games such as 传奇 and World of Warcraft.
MMORPGs are far more popular in China (and Starcraft in Korea) than in the West.
Now it means "to challenge"...
